Burnt me nuts
I just burnt me pine nuts again!
I'm always burnin' me pine nuts. Why is it that when you watch them under the grill, they never do anything but as soon as you turn your back to wipe your greasy finger on a tissue, they burn? I mean, it was only a few seconds!
I turned round and there were those wiggling whispers of smoke curling up to the ceiling and creeping over to where the smoke alarm is. Quick then you got to rescue your nuts, open the back door, grab a tea towel and whirl it round and round under the smoke alarm, quick, quick, just like an airplane rotor, whisk all the smoke out before the thing goes off and wakes the neighbourhood.
Phew!
While I was adding me burnt nuts to the pan (they are still edible, you know, just a bit black), the radio started playing an old Maggie Bell song. Maggie Bell eh? Would you believe it? Bringing those memories all the way back from 1978. That's funny, -1978-, see that's almost a straight ... or is it a flush? No a flush is suits isn't it? Must be a straight. Well, almost.
...
Still, at least the pasta didn't go soggy this time.
Mmmm, pasta, pine nuts and saucy bits, yummy. I need a nice hot cup of coffee beans now ...
Listening to: sorry, didn't catch the name of that Maggie Bell track
Wondering: where this little moment of limpidity came from

ewwwww nuts in your pasta?
no thanks
Okay then fussy! I'll dish out your pasta before I put the nuts in. But you still got to wait for me before you start, cos it's only polite see, which means yours might be cold, so neh.
Now do you want parmesan on it?
a bit of cheddar maybe - parmesan is smelly!
It's only smelly out of those supermarket pre-grated packets. Have you tried the fresh stuff? Tastes gorgeous and doesn't smell.
But you can have whatever you like. I'll get some cheddar in for when you're next round (and no nuts).
no mushrooms or cream either....
so do you have pasta with your cheddar cheese?
yes yes.
pasta and sauce and cheese
only cheddar
no mushrooms or cream inthe sauce
oh or olives
or fishy things
Okay, look I'm going to buy a special pan, just for your pasta. :)
sorry
i gues i should be a tiwg being so fussy...sadly not
i like chocolate and bread and pasta and bad bad things!

Don't worry, I use wholewheat pasta, it's better for you.
Now don't be telling me you don't like that either ...
